I am in the Civil Air Patrol. It is the Air Force auxilary and it was established the first of december, the week Pearl Harbor happened. Back then it was consisted of Civilian and military men who were pilots. Today it consists of cadets 12 years of age and older.
When Pearl Harbor happened, the Civil Air Patrol would patrol the coasts. They also sank about 7 german submarines.
Today it is now a program that consists of Air Force drills and ceremonies, emergency missions, and aerospace programs.
But I would like to say that I am thankful for those men and women that served our country, and the ones that till do. And I am proud to be in the Civil Air Patrol, and how it will help me in my future military career.
Thank you American soldiers, airmen, seamen. thank you <3
